[X2Go-Dev] x2goagent listening on public interface - how to make it listen on 127.0.0.1 only?
Hi, unfortunately on x2go-users nobody was able to answer this question, maybe here is anybody who knows how to fix this: I am testing x2go - looks like a very good alternative to other solutions! However, I see that (only) when I am logged in via x2goclient I have an x2goagent process listening on the server on all network interfaces on port 6050 - I would feel better if this software did only listen on 127.0.0.1, if this is technically possible. I did not found any hint on a listen 127.0.0.1 configuration item and where to put it, if existing - how can I make x2goagent NOT listen on a public network interface?

Re: [X2Go-Dev] ATTN: Alex - Questions regarding x2goclient.exe --portable and session specification
Hi Alex, another question regarding the Windows client and its portable mode: Is everything in the C:\Program Files\x2goclient directory self-contained and not relying on absolute path names by default, or does a truly portable install require additional pre- or post-install tweaks? In other words, can I copy/move the entire folder to another drive/medium (Network share, USB memory stick, CD-ROM,...) and it should still work? I don't care about the entries in the start menu, these can easily be (re)created with a script if needed. The reason why I'm asking is that this would allow for a central update location in a LAN when a new client version gets released: Either run the client directly from the network share, or have a script copy the contents onto the client machines. I'm aware the installer has the /S option for a silent install, but having a single copy on a network share (or simply copying updated files over to the clients using robocopy or xcopy) seems easier than a scripted update on $BIGNUM client machines. (where $BIGNUM in my case is currently roughly 30 LANs with 5-15 client machines each, with more to come each month). -Stefan ___ X2Go-Dev mailing list X2Go-Dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
